About this deal

The Mecha Mini does pretty much everything right; it’s got a compact design, supreme typing and gaming experience, gorgeous lighting, great keycaps, extremely solid build quality, andit comes with a bunch of nice extras in the box. As such it is, without a shadow of doubt, one of the best (gaming) keyboards that you can buy right now.

The RGB, lighting modes and the controls are just amazing. Absolutely breathtaking. I can't stop staring at it. This keyboard is built like a tank. No matter how much force I applied to the housing I couldn’t get it to budge even one millimeter, so you can rest assured that this keyboard will sooner break you than vice versa. I've owned this now for quite a few months, and have noticed so many bugs with firmware and daily use it's crazy you could be playing a game then all of a sudden your W key or E key will open windows or 3 other programs randomly? Like what!? Sometime hitting the tab key will close all programs for no reason, and many other weird things just happen randomly with different keystrokes(this also happened before I modded it, so it wasn't due to be resoldering the board)The RGB brightness is not adjustable for the preset modes, so it is almost blinding for me personally. The stabs are amazing out of the box, no rattle, no ping and barely any movement, maybe less than a mm.

The keyboard itself is also very powerful; you can create macros, build lighting profiles, change the debounce time settings, and even play minesweeper all on the board itself without the need for software. That’s impressive, but there is definitely a bit of a learning curve involved. Just changing between different preset lighting profiles is almost literally easy as one two three, but if you want to build a custom profile or create some macros you’re going to want to keep your manual really close to your desk. The new bezel design shares a similar sleek frame as its predecessor. Get durable exceptional reliable performance with PBT double-shot seamless keycaps and German Cherry MX key switches. We use USB HID with the highest frequency of 1000Hz polling rate, meaning the keyboard is sending its input signal(s) to your PC 1000 times per second. Advanced I personally think that not having software is a massive disadvantage, and I have really grown to hate this keyboard because of it. The Mecha Mini is, as the name perhaps gives away, a very small keyboard. Its 60% size means that it’s even smaller than a tenkeyless board; you won’t even find any arrow keys on this one. That’s great for gaming (unless you’re one of those people who uses the arrow keys to play) as the compact design frees up a lot of desk real estate for you to move your mouse around, but that does make it a bit more difficult to use for productivity. You can still get to the arrow keys (and the function keys and what not) by using a combination of inputs but it’s quite obvious that this form factor isn’t going to be a hit if you desire lots of extra knobs and dials.I'm sorry to give this such a low rating I wanted to love it but for what I received I truly feel it's only worthy of 3 stars at this price At this point I own 6 different boards with experience in modding them and rebuilds. But you can make your own decisions. I caved in and took the swap offer because I wasn't sure if I ever was gonna get my hands on another Mecha Mini (I already have one but it has Silent Reds on it which I regret and it's v1). The new, fully aluminium bezel design shares a similar sleek frame as its predecessor. The PBT double-shot seamless keycaps, with German Cherry MX key switches, give durable, exceptional, and reliable performance. We use USB HID with the highest frequency of 1000Hz polling rate, meaning the keyboard is sending its input signal(s) to your PC 1000 times per second. With full NKRO (which stands for N-key rollover) you can press as many switches at the same time as you physically can without the keyboard missing a beat, and the perfectly implemented switches and keys make swerving through the sky in Fortnite or bunnyhopping around in CS:GO an absolute dream thanks to the responsive and consistent feeling of the board.
